Greetings!

Last season, The Southern Ontario Lyric Opera finished on a high note with our mainstage production at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre and concluded with Bizet’s popular Carmen; French lyricism combined with Spanish rhythms in one of the most enduring operas of all time.

Our 2024-2025 season is now well underway. We were very pleased to present La Bohème twice in October and look forward to preparing Lucia di Lammermoor in the new year, as well as our annual seasonal celebrations. On November 2nd we supported Westdale United Church through our Music Feeds the Soul benefit concert.
